Charleston, or Large Wakefield Cabbage 



CHARLESTON, or LAB6E WAKEFIELD. 



This variety has become a popular market 

 cabbage. It is about a week later than 

 Wakefield, the heads are nearly one-third 

 larger and very solid. It is very compact 

 in growth and so can be planted more close 

 than most varieties. One great advantage 

 With this sort is that it does not burst 

 open when ripe. This sort is grown large- 

 ly in the south and around large cities for 

 shipping long distances on account of its 

 good keeping qualities, and is one of the 

 best large early sorts on the market. Per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., 14 lb. $1.00, lb. $3.50. 



All-Head Early Cabbage 



ALL-HEAD EARLY. In this variety we 

 have an excellent second early cabbage, 

 which is not only All-Head, but never fails 

 to head. The great advantage of having an 

 early cabbage that is sure to produce a 

 large, solid crisp head, and one that will 

 answer for an early or late variety, can 

 well be appreciated. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 35 cts., y 4 lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00. 



AUTUMN KING or WORLD BEATER. The 

 Autumn King, is uniformlv true to type 

 and sure to head hard — "solid as a rock." 

 The large, broad heads are very thick, 

 slightly rounded at the top; fine grained 

 and tender — more so than any other large 

 cabbage. Stocks short, foliage compact, 

 dark green. It is a rapid grower, and 

 does not require special culture to develop. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., 14,1b. 75 cts., 

 lb. $3.00. 



Surehead Cabbage 



SUREHEAD. This variety is unrivaled to- 

 day, being pronounced by thousands If 

 growers the surest heading and best main 

 crop cabbage. The demand from all parts 

 of America for this famous cabbage is 

 steadily increasing. No other cabbage has 

 elicited so many voluntary expressions of 

 praise. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % lb. 

 80 cts., lb. $3.00. 



PREMIUM PLAT DUTCH. As a variety for 

 the winter market it has no superior, and 

 is more extensively grown than any other. 

 Heads large, bluish green, round, solid, 

 broad and flat on top; they open wide and 

 crisp, are tender and well flavored. One 

 of the very best to keep. With good culti- 

 vation on moist, rich ground, ninety-five 

 in a hundred will head up hard and fine. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., Vi lb. 75 cts., 

 lb. $3.00. 



VOLGA or STONE HEAD. A variety lately 

 introduced from Russia. It is strong and 

 hardy, invariably producing a crop. The 

 heads are large, round and perfectly solid. 

 Few outside leaves and does not crack. 

 The flesh is firm, tender and white; most 

 desirable for kraut as well as for all other 

 purposes. It is about two weeks earlier 

 in maturing than the other late main 

 sorts. We predict this cabbage will lead 

 all others as a main crop variety when 

 better known. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 30 cts., 

 14 lb. 80 cts., lb. $3.00. 



MAMMOTH ROCK RED. This is the largest 

 and hardiest heading red cabbage in culti- 

 vation. Successful Long Island market 

 gardeners will raise no other kind of red 

 cabbage, for they consider this the best 

 of all. The heads frequently average 12 

 pounds each, and are very sure croppers. 

 If you want as fine red cabbage as you ever 

 saw, you must sow ROCK RED, for it ab- 

 solutely leads every other red sort. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., y± lb. 75 cts., lb. $3.00. 



AMERICAN DRUMHEAD SAVOY. Closely 

 approaching the Cauliflower in delicacy and 

 delicious flavor. The best of all the Sa- 

 voys for general market or home use. It 

 has a short stump, grown to a large size, 

 is compact and solid, and a good header. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., % lb. 75 cts., lb. 

 $3.00. 



Your seeds are of the best I have ever seen, or 

 tried. The Notts Excelsior Peas are just fine; I 

 have picked about four bushels off three rows sixty 

 feet long. — F. A. Naylor, Johnson Co., Iowa.
